Congrats to Hooman and Ted on buying AddThis. Now you’ve got 20B views with no revenue model. Good luck on the ad thing.
Socialtext 3.0 looks to be a dashboard, social based mashup kit that works with Signals (a Twitter clone) and provides a wiki platform for custom taxonomies, private corporate communication and other “inside the Firewall” goodness. Congrats to Ross and Pete on this one. It’s a pure play open mesh platform!

Between kicking ass and the shifting paradigms of GACL - it looks like Android will at least give iPhone a run for it’s money. That’s good - cause I will never buy an Apple product - ever again.
